NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
Snow White (Sim Carnation Co.)—One of the finest white Carna¬ 
tions ever introduced. A huge flower measuring over 4 inches 
in diameter. The flowers are symmetrical in form and have 
high full centers. In spite of its size, SNOW WHITE is a 
heavy producer, with very few splits. The flowers are fine 
keepers, and will bring premium prices. The plants are large, 
bushy and vigorous and break by themselves almost without 
topping. The stems are strong, and the foliage is broad, with 
no grassy growth and unusually free of disease. It is easy to 
propagate. 
Berkshire Hills (Max R. Engleman)—A beautiful light salmon pink 
sport of Patrician with the same form and size of its parent. 
The flowers are splendid keepers and split less than Patrician. 
The plants are vigorous, clean, large and bushy. The stems 
are long and strong and production is high. 
Pharaoh (Sim Carnation Co.)—The most beautiful novelty Carnation 
available. The petals are a delicate shade of orange, tipped 
with bright red. There are no pencillings. The flowers cire 
full centered, measuring over 4 inches in diameter with fringed 
petals. It is a heavy producer on large and bushy plants.

splits, and keeps exceptionally well. Premium prices can

now available. The flowers are large and beautifully formed.

splitting. The variety is a good producer. It is not restricted.
